Kelli Condina
Description:
This map provides a snapshot of water use by category and the proportionate use by county for 2022 (most recent year available). The size of the pie charts indicates the overall volume of water usage, and the different categories of the pie chart (irrigation, livestock, manufacturing, mining, steam electric and municipal) break down how much water is being utilized in each different use category.
Purpose:
This map is hosted on the TWDB website to provide public access to data collected and analyzed by the Water Use Survey team. It offers insights into how water usage is across the state. It shows the volume of water used in each county. Additionally, the map categorizes the water usage into different types: irrigation, livestock, manufacturing, mining, steam electric and municipal. This breakdown allows for a better understanding of how water is utilized in each county.

Proposed Highways of 1917

Tom Neville
Description:
The digital map was created using ArcGIS Pro. A scanned TIFF file of the original map was georeferenced by matching known locations on the image with corresponding points from several feature layers. The proposed highways, administrative divisions, and cities were then manually digitized using the Create Line tool. Finally, the completed map was exported as a PDF.
Purpose:
This 1917 map represents TxDOT’s bold vision for a modern transportation network. Created by what TxDOT was know as then, State Highway Department, it outlines a proposed system of state highways designed to connect cities, towns, and rural communities across the vast landscape of Texas. Notice the numbered districts and the detailed table of highway names—these reflect the early administrative structure for managing road development. The numbered lines show planned routes, marking the first steps toward a unified system that would transform travel, commerce, and daily life. Displayed here, the map is more than a technical plan—it is a snapshot of ambition at a time when automobiles were reshaping society. It invites viewers to imagine Texas before interstates and to appreciate how this proposal laid the groundwork for the highways we rely on today.
